His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1638

In the evening, many families gathered to eat dinner together in the Philippines. Those who were still working overtime or the night shift turned on the evening news to help keep them awake if their workplace allowed watching television or listening to the radio. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

Some were stuck in traffic. Those who had their own vehicles freely turned on their radios or portable TVs to listen to or watch the evening news. Those who used public transportation were at the mercy of their drivers when it came to the channel. Those who had their own mobile devices wore earphones to enjoy their chosen entertainment.

Millions of Filipinos tuned in to today's evening news as usual.

"Good evening, Philippines. This is 'Patrol 24' giving you timely news from all over the country and the world."

The headlines were a mixed bag as usual. There was good news, bad news, interesting news, and boring news.

Politics, crimes, calamities.

Achievements, feel-good stories, funny incidents.

"Patrol 24's" team of news anchors were all known household names. They were all professional and held high status within the country's journalism world.

Finally, it was time for one of the news program's most popular segments.

A celebrity actress had been moonlighting as the segment's host for a few months now.

"For tonight's 'Showbiz Hour', Chinese singer Iris Long's private jet landed at the Manila International Airport late afternoon earlier today. She is here in the Philippines to promote the launch of Orchidia Philippines. A crowd of her fans called the Black Stars Philippines all gathered outside the airport to welcome her arrival. One of our correspondents also went there and managed to get a brief interview with her."

Next, footage showed a crowd of fans outside the airport's waiting area holding signs that read "Welcome to the Philippines, Boss Iris". Many of them wore suits that looked handmade.

They sang Iris Long's most popular songs in the country, "Shining Eyes" and "I, the Dreamer".

Their voices harmonized together like a lively choir.

Finally, another footage showed the actual arrival of Iris Long. Her fresh face and casual outfit only emphasized her natural beauty.

Screams erupted as soon as her fans saw her.

"Boss Iris!"

"We love you, Boss Iris!"

Then they all began singing "Black Star" in original Chinese.

"Oh, stars above

Oh, land of dreams….

"Now I sing this song

A song entirely mine

A song only I can sing….

"I'm a black star with no light

But so what? I'll glow again

My dream glows bright in my heart

I'm a black star that'll light up, you'll see"

In the video footage, Iris Long was seen holding back tears as she took the time to listen to her fans serenading her with her own song. After they finished singing, she sent them several flying kisses before giving them her iconic curtsy bow which sent the entire crowd in another cheering frenzy.

Then she approached them and took her time chatting with them while signing autographs and smiling for selfies.

Her bodyguards protected her tightly without being rude to her fans. In fact, the airport security and the local police were rougher, pushing some fans away, to which she could be seen intervening and asking them to be gentler.

While all these were happening, the reporters present began asking her questions.

"I'm from 'Patrol 24'. Welcome to the Philippines, Iris Long!"

"Thank you very much."

"Why did you come to the Philippines?"

"I'm here primarily to promote the launch of Orchidia Philippines. I'm so excited to bring my company, Orchidia, to the Philippines. For the longest time, I've been working hard with our Filipino partners to bring our innovative and high-quality products to this country and the Southeast Asian region while keeping the costs as reasonable as possible. Please come to our launch party tomorrow. I'm sure that you'll find something you'll like from our wide product range."

However, Dominic Chua's family was just a minor collateral branch that didn't inherit anything from the main branch of wealthy Chuas.

Dominic and his sisters grew up in a normal, average working-class household. Their parents, Reina and Domingo Chua, worked hard to provide their children with a decent upbringing and a focus on education.

Their family had never been dirt-poor, but they had never been rich either.

It was only when Domingo Chua managed to connect with his distant cousin in China, Cai Guang, who was Long Tengfei's long-time assistant that his son, Dominic Chua, had the opportunity to find better career prospects outside the Philippines.

Then Cai Guang recommended his distant nephew, Dom, to the newly awakened Iris Long who had been in a coma after a serious car accident.

It was then that Dom's life had completely changed, and in extension, the entire Chua family's fortune improved by leaps and bounds.

Iris Long provided Dom and everyone in his family with countless opportunities to develop their skills and to prosper economically in ways that they could never have imagined before meeting her.

Their only son, Dominic, was Iris Long's closest confidante second only to her own husband. He also lived with her family, granting him direct access to her family's massive wealth of resources. He was her right-hand man who had the authority to make decisions under her name. Thanks to his friendship with Iris Long, he was able to recommend his own family members to Iris Long and her husband.

The eldest daughter, Marjorie Chua-Ferrer, and her husband, Paul Ferrer, were now the bosses of their own property development company in partnership with Jin Liwei who provided them the capital funds.

The second daughter, Linda Chua, had now become the CEO of Orchidia Philippines.

The youngest daughter, Clover Chua, was currently in France as the CEO of Liberté.

And as the parents, Domingo and Reina Chua were now semi-retired but would still help their eldest and second daughters with their companies.

Now all of their children were literal bosses.

Their only son, Dom, might not be a "boss" but as the assistant to their greatest benefactor, Iris Long, he was the one who paved the way for all of them. Without him, they would never have imagined that they would one day become close to reaching the level of the main Chua family's wealth.

When Marjorie and her husband, Paul, and Linda began building their companies, the main Chua branch noticed. At first, the main Chu family pretended not to care. But now that Domingo Chua's branch family had become high-profile, especially when they had been preparing for Iris Long's arrival in the Philippines, the main family finally took the initiative to contact them and "reconnect".

Although Domingo and Reina knew that the main family only wanted their connection with Iris Long, and of course, her billionaire husband CEO Jin Liwei, they decided that there was no reason to refuse the main family's gesture. Hence, they accepted.

After this "reconnection" of their minor collateral branch family with the main family, Domingo and Reina Chua along with their children were granted access to exclusive connections among the elites in the Philippines.
